Friendship experiences: Real friends stick to almost the end!
Real friends stick to almost the end!...
(or at least to the end of your introduction speech or text - not judging too early!)
2 similar people can be similar enough that they as polar magnets together - which can repel each other rather than attract (unfortunately but it's also because the negatives can be see on first look than the positives).
So when really me and you might be potential "best friends" from the start (because we are loyal to the same things...) but we trip on some specific defensiveness which means you break up with them early (I already know friendships have this so I never break with people early any more).
If you're going to have friendship, you're going to have troubles - and real friends stick to almost the end! (at least don't run away the first time they think you're acting funny)

@bonifartius Thanks for that - honestly almost forgot how good of an example COVID was / is at separating people... almost like saying the wrong topic at Christmas dinner (or any big dinner event) but even big offence taken sometimes from such division on health or even finding out how bad people are from communicating (and just it never being tested or ongoing conversation of sorts). Hi and bye people (even family)...
About the disavow part of family because of state... well it's trick and I don't know all of that - but I know state = parents (of sorts) and legal punishment or even just 'following' orders is a higher priority (even by a small bit) so people choosing state can be logical in that sense state is more of a parent past a certain age... and people need them more (dependency is inbuilt so if they tell me 3 is the new of 4, I might just listen / accept!
So yeah there is a margin, often unclear at time fo break ups too (like your perception of why you broke up versus reality of really what it was - but never know as didn't talk long enough or in detail enough to get there).
Good grief Charlie Brown!
But "practice makes perfect" (of the imperfect humans)

@freeschool the whole covid episode really weeded out many of the friends (and family) i had. really disappointed in how many were acting, and i'm certainly not going to trust them as much.
or at all. i know people breaking with their own parents for not happily going along with all the mandates. how can i trust people who disavow their parents without hesitation, just because the state tells them to?
